I have been using Countabout Basic for a few months now and love the program. No looking back for me, this is a great app and a great service! Nate E. And the mobile app isn’t hamstrung like Quicken’s. Barbara Ann Feeneyįantastic! I finally found a great replacement for Quicken! CountAbout is entirely cloud-based, so you can access it from whatever OS you happen to be using. Really happy with how this app makes it easy to track how I doing, staying (or not) on budget. I switched from pencil and paper on grid accounting paper, then to a Google spreadsheet, then to CountAbout. Great product and great customer service. If feels like I’m working with a small enterprise that’s interested in putting out a superior application, improving it and solving issues and responding to questions. The few times I’ve had a question about using CountAbout I’ve always gotten a response by the end of the day – and often in an hour or less. It took me awhile to fully embrace it but once I did I’ve been very happy and would not go back to Quicken even if they offered a fully online version. I wanted something that worked a lot like Quicken and CountAbout fit the bill. I settled on Tiller and CountAbout and subscribed to both I quickly decided that a spreadsheet is not what I wanted. I immediately dismissed any ‘free’ financial software (Mint, etc.) – I believe that you get what you pay for and there is no such thing as ‘free.’ The replacement had to be online available from my phone, tablet, etc., and no software installations almost every year. I’d been using Quicken for Mac for 10+ years and wanted to migrate to using a Chromebook instead of a Mac, to do that I had to find a replacement for Quicken. I’m a one-person real estate brokerage and having accurate financial records and being able to easily search transactions and generate reports is crucial. All in all, CountAbout could be a good choice for Quicken and Mint users who want to start fresh with their finances without losing their past transaction history. Mint, for example, uses targeted ads to help keep the platform free. …you won’t be bombarded with ads when you log in. When I found CountAbout, I gleefully gave Quicken the boot and I haven’t looked back or missed it at all. But for personal use, the basic plan is just fine.
QUICKEN SOFTWARE FOR MAC REVIEWS UPGRADE
You can upgrade for more features, if you need them. Now I do! I love that the cost is only $9.99 per year for the basic service (which is all I need). I love CountAbout! I have hated Quicken for years, but didn’t have an alternative. The best app if you’re ready to make the switch from Quicken or Mint - CountAbout.
